Why Paul McCartney Recorded 'Mother Nature's Son' Without the Other Beatles

It’s no news to Beatles fans that 1968’s White Album became a dark time for the Fab Four. During the recording sessions, the band would witness a walkout by Ringo, a near-fistfight between John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and plenty of grumbling and dirty looks on the side.

However, there was also plenty of joy and collaboration during the White Album. According to records from the sessions, the band had a blast (very much under the influence) recording “Helter Skelter.” And Ringo had a blast making “Yer Blue,” which became a favorite for him.

But you could tell how bad things got in the summer of ’68 by how many tracks exclude other Beatles. John definitely noticed when Paul recorded “Why Don’t We Do It in the Road?” without help from him or George.
